Women Effect Investments

Women Effect Investments 

is a field-building initiative 

that seeks to mobilize 

more investment dollars

toward improving the condition of 

women and girls worldwide.

The Women Effect:

When women are economic agents and leaders, social change accelerates and returns multiply.  The returns of women-focused investing can be measured in our families, our neighborhoods, and on the other side of the world.  

Billions versus trillions - mobilizing our portfolios:

Today’s philanthropists have been energized by stories and research that detail the profound impact of investing in women and girls. And women donors, in particular, have focused their charitable assets toward supporting women—and transformed the landscape of philanthropy in the process. However, the world of financial services offers few vehicles that enable women and allies to move significant investment assets toward generating the Women Effect.

Making it happen:

• We are creating and empowering a community of women investors to place their assets in a diverse group of vehicles and expand the seat at the table for women in social investing
• We are strengthening and creating new investment opportunities with a gender lens by supporting the efforts of a diverse set of financial intermediaries.
